Hi guys,
I have some <hr>'s on my site and would like to change some properties of them for different browsers.

But first of all I would like to count the number of <hr>'s and my question simply is how to count them?

Anyone ideas? It is for NN and Mozilla as well so the all object won't work

Thanks for you help!

You could use this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
	<title>My Page</title>
	<script language="javascript">
	function count_them()
	{
		var num_tags = document.getElementsByTagName('hr');
        num_tags = num_tags.length;

        alert('Number of HR\'s: ' + num_tags);
	}
	</script>
</head>
<body onload="count_them()">

<hr />
<hr />
<hr />
<hr />
<hr />
<hr />
<hr />
<hr />
<hr />
<hr />

</body>
</html>
